Difference between ammonotelism & uretelism. Write a note on Bowman's capsule. Enlist excretory products produced in the human body. Sketch & label L.S. of kidney. Write the functions of kidney. Write the functions of ureter & urinary bladder. With the help of a neat & labeled diagram, describe the human excretory system.
Understand the Problem
The question consists of multiple prompts related to human excretory systems and includes comparisons, descriptions, sketches, and functions related to anatomy and physiology.
Answer
Ammonotelism is excretion of ammonia; ureotelism is excretion of urea. Bowman's capsule filters blood in nephrons. Human excretes urea, uric acid. Kidney filters blood; ureters transport urine. Excretory system includes kidneys to urethra.
-
Difference between Ammonotelism and Ureotelism: Ammonotelism involves excreting ammonia and is typical in aquatic animals. Ureotelism involves excreting urea and is common in terrestrial animals.
-
Bowman's Capsule: A part of the nephron in kidneys; it encases the glomerulus and begins the filtration of blood.
-
Excretory Products: Urea, uric acid, creatinine, ammonia, bilirubin, and carbon dioxide.
-
L.S. of Kidney: Requires a sketch – highlights the cortex, medulla, renal pelvis, etc.
-
Functions of Kidney: Filters blood, regulates electrolytes, and maintains acid-base balance.
-
Functions of Ureter and Urinary Bladder: Ureters transport urine from kidneys to bladder; the bladder stores urine.
-
Human Excretory System: Composed of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Diagram illustrating their positions and functions.

More Information
Bowman's capsule is essential for starting the filtration process by forming a filtration barrier. The human body excretes several substances, with kidneys playing a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis.
Tips
Common mistake: Confusing ammonotelism with ureotelism. Ammonia is more toxic and requires more water to excrete compared to urea.
